‘We are here to stay,’ pledge Jerusalem’s Armenians, as land conflict escalates

On Wednesday, a group of Israeli police officers entered an area of the Armenian Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City known as the Cows’ Garden and began dismantling outposts set up there by members of the Armenian community.
This is far from the first incident pitting law enforcement and settler groups against Jerusalem’s Armenians, who for more than six months now, have organized round-the-clock sit-ins in an effort to save the Cows’ Garden from a takeover by Israeli real estate developers.
Armenian community members say losing the Cows’ Garden would pose an existential threat to their community and would irrevocably damage Jerusalem’s multicultural and multireligious character.
CivilNet’s Mark Dovich sits down with Setrag Balian, co-founder of the Save the ArQ movement, to review the latest developments in Jerusalem and discuss the steps the city’s Armenians are taking to defend and preserve their homes.

I wish for the success of the Armenian community of Jerusalem. Right now Israel is behaving like a rogue state thumbing it’s nose against the international laws. I hope it will not be the case with the peaceful Armenian community of Jerusalem. Bravo Setrag Balian and a great interview by Mark Dovich.

Perhaps armenian leaders in Jerusalem, before trying to get rich, need to consult with local armenians?!

It's not the "Israeli police" who are behind this attempted seizure of the Armenian Quarter but the extremist right-wing "Israeli government". As to what the "Armenian diaspora" is doing to support the efforts of the local Armenian community remains a mystery. Why the moderator failed to ask about what the Armenian government in Yerevan is/isn't doing, even behind the scenes, also is problemmatic. What about the Mother See in Etchmiadzin? Get representatives of the church and the government to sit down at the table and ask them some tough questions. It seems that Setrag and other local activists are alone in this struggle against the Israeli government that wants to drive out all non-Jewish minorities from Jerusalem.

Few days before the israeli government sent police into the Armenian quarter it was announced that an Armenian was appointed as a foreign minister of Palestine.

To make an international case, could a petition be created geared to most Armenian communities in the world to be sent to their individual governments to get involved.
